Group of Post Holes

Phasing

The only diagnostic finds were 2 later Roman pot sherds, one each from post holes 012AD06051 and 012AD08393. Typologically, they are Anglian in form, being small and shallow.

Discussion

A group of 16 postholes in the central part of the dry valley, all cut into hillwash. Although treated as a single entity, they fall into two distinct groups, one of 7 posts to the north of Grubenhaus 012AD06000, and the remaining 9 posts apparently within the eastern part of enclosure 012AD07230, to the north-east of post hole structure 012AD07082. Generally, they were U-shaped in profile, though at least 4 of them were distinctlyV-shaped.
